<p>[QUOTE="rooksmith, post: 26365740, member: 120230"]An aluminum foil pan or just a piece of aluminum shaped into a little bowl worked for me. I used a 2:1 ratio of water to baking soda, made sure the coin had contact with the foil and volla. 10 minutes did the trick. If the corrosion is really deep, rinse and repeat. Do not scrub the coin with anything rougher than your fingertip, or a cotton swab. This is the best coin trick ever. Use caution with harsh chemicals like E-Zest. But it does work as a last resort. Soapy products like MS70 which also has other solvents can be used with extreme caution. Happy coin doctoring, and as usual the disclaimer: Never Clean Rare coins. Let the coin grader do the cleaning. But for your average junk silver, which you wont be sending in for a grade, it's up to you. "Beauty is in the eye of the coin holder"[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
